Fire and the Gouldian Finch

WWF-Australia's species team members Helen Pitman and Tida Nou recently took part in a back-on-country trip with Nyaliga Traditional Owners and Wunggurr Rangers to Karunjie Station in the east Kimberley region. This is one of a number of projects aimed at improving fire regimes in the Kimberley to make them more biodiversity friendly.

The project, run by the Nyaliga Aboriginal Corporation, commenced in 2006 with support from the Kimberley Land Council, Indigenous Land Corporation and WWF-Australia and focuses on the Karunjie and Durack River properties.

The Kimberley landscape is truly spectacular with its rocky ranges, hidden gorges and ancient swollen boab trees. WWF's species team was very lucky to call this special place their "office" for the week.
